Liverpool are finally starting to find their feet after a tough start to the Premier League season, and Jurgen Klopp will be eager to make it a nine-point week against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds followed up on last weekend's impressive triumph over Manchester City by edging out West Ham in midweek. Darwin Nunez was on target to seal a 1-0 win for Klopp's men, who moved up to seventh in the league after winning back-to-back games.
A trip to the City Ground presents Liverpool with a real opportunity to bag another three-point haul as they bid to make up ground and chase down the Premier League's leading pack. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest news from in and around Anfield...
Klopp makes title admission
Just weeks after writing off Liverpool's title hopes, Klopp has admitted that he regrets being so blunt with his assessment.
The Reds are currently 11 points behind early league leaders Arsenal and are unlikely to challenge for the domestic crown this year following their horrific start to the campaign.
But on the eve of their trip to the City Ground, Klopp has insisted that the club still have ambitions to challenge for honours this season - even if some of his previous comments have suggested that may not be the case.
Klopp sends Gerrard message
Join the debate! How do you think Liverpool will fare against Nottingham Forest? Let us know here.
It's been a rough 24 hours for Anfield legend Steven Gerrard, who was brutally sacked by Aston Villa on Thursday night just hours after a 3-0 defeat to Fulham.
Gerrard, who had been tipped by many to eventually succeed Klopp at Liverpool, has struggled to get Villa firing since replacing Dean Smith last year and will now have to rebuild his managerial career elsewhere.
When he was asked about the decision, Klopp revealed in his pre-match press conference on Friday that he has already been in touch with Gerrard since his dismissal.
Cryptic Keita update
Naby Keita is one of three Liverpool players who are closing in on a return to fitness - but Klopp was giving little away over the Guinean midfielder's long-term future.
Keita, who has been sidelined since the end of July with a hamstring issue, is due to become a free agent next summer and there have been no indications that a new deal is in the works to extend the 27-year-old's Anfield stay.
And while Klopp revealed that Keita, along with Ibrahima Konate and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, is poised to return to training, he did little to quell talk that Keita could leave the club for nothing in less than 12 months' time.
